He probably shouldn't be taking all these drugs when he's extremely mentally ill imo but it explains all the hallucinations

It definitely was. The "rapper" trying to push his "new album" was really just trying to distribute a CD with malicious software on it, hence the boyfriend complaining that the CD didn't work and his laptop just kept spitting it out. Afterward the "rapper" was the one typing in Chinese "We're in" presumably to the Dark Army group. If they're tackling the Chinese side of things then they're likely a Chinese hacker group. What exactly they're targeting Angela for (connections to Evil Corp through Allsafe?) is another matter.

Trying to hack anyone at allsafe since he was standing outside the offices

One thing I really love about this show so far is their attention to technical accuracy. Whether it be the hacking, or the date rape effects, or even just the modern day that people are trying to get their warez picked up on the street, its a pleasant departure from all the hollywood hacking and cliches that normally adorn TV shows.



His dealer would never have been asleep so soon after taking mdma :spergin:

Here, take this, its ecstasy, you'll feel alive. (:ssh: its actually a rohypnol)... She was obviously date raped. She had no idea where she was, why she was in a bath, why she had contusions on her head, or if she'd even had sex.

I meant in the first episode

I hope his friend and boyfriend tell Elliot whats happened in the next episode rather than it get dragged out and the only reason it didn't happen in this episode was their panic over it

I liked his dealer girlfriend calling him out on thinking he knows her just because he's hacked all of her stuff and knows a bunch of personal information. Maybe she should have been angry about it but idk

She knew that Elliot had taken down the dealer so thoroughly that he was going away for murder which suggests to me she knows that he is a hacker. I could be wrong though

What songs were used in this episode? This is really good and well shot too and I kind of worry the really bad name will stop it being popular and get it cancelled :v:

Did I miss it, or what is Angela getting out of the deal with the old CTO? I don't remember her mentioning that he has to testify against E-Corp, she just got the "truth" about what happened, which doesn't seem that useful to her case.


She gets him to testify, with immunity, that Evil Corp dumped the toxic waste that killed her mum. For doing this she's sacrificing her job by saying it was her gently caress up that led to the hack/information leak so he is in the clear

She's not saying she caused the hack, she's saying she messed up chain of custody so that the evidence might be tainted.'

edit- If your familiar with baseball this was how Ryan Braun was cleared in his PED case the first time.

I knew it wasn't the hack exactly but its late and I forgot what she was saying other than sacrificing her job for it

I thought it was original score, but I just found out the song used during :siren:THE REVEAL:siren: last week is called "Gone" by M83. It's pretty great.

m83 did the oblivion sound track and whatever you think of the film, its an amazing sound track

The therapy seems like an odd situation. It is/was important to understanding Elliot's mind and provided that excellent scene where he "reveals" himself to the therapist so it has to be in the show, but it's not the kind of thing his character would do voluntarily so it has to be mandated by authority. This runs up against the post-Darlene reveal search scene, though, since if he did something to warrant court-ordered therapy sessions he would almost certainly have shown up in a few databases and wouldn't be the complete ghost that he appears to be in that scene.

You mean the kind of database he would have hacked and deleted himself from

there's a bunch of overkill in the show that i imagine is purely for effect. like they toasted that whole computer, case and all. probably unnecessary; unless the nsa has gotten craazy the computer fan doesn't sto're any data

in the real world cybercrime is insanely traceable, i don't recommend it. the internet routes your connection through a ton of different servers, the owners of precisely none of which appreciate being used for crimes, especially bandwidth-expensive crimes and all of which will totally cooperate with basically anyone to avoid the slightest chance of being charged as an accomplice. like, its sweet that you're using a proxy server in a non-extradition country but you still have to go through your isp and their isp and so on to even get out there. and tor is a non-starter since basically every entry and exit node is run by the feds to catch nonces.

the worst of it comes from places like china/russia though where the government don't give a poo poo about co-operating with tracking people down

did anyone else think the guy who blew his brains out looked like tyrell a bit? mostly in the mannerisms/smile. not that i think it means anything of course

There is someone else who knows this!
I knew that interpol would jump on that after the embassy cables leak and the guy explained how he did it but the feds are probably less looking for nonces and more for political "dissent".
It's why Edward Snowden is constantly going on about encryption, encryption, encryption despite stuff like tor seeming safe.

i mean i'm not in the US but it seems like if the feds busted tons of paedophiles that it would have also made the news here and basically the only news about tor is the silkroad guy's court case
